The ORV Mission Foundation exists thanks to the faithful stewardship and gifts of
individuals from our predecessor organizations. Over the years many saints have
placed gifts in trust to continue ministries beyond their time on earth for which
they had a passion. Some of these gifts were given with restrictions regarding use
and others were unrestricted. These gifts have been carefully invested so that the
earnings are able to fund continued ministry. In addition to the earnings on the
investments, annual apportionment giving from the churches in the district help
to further the district’s ability to extend mission and ministry in new and emerging
ways; to revitalize congregations; to grow congregations to fulfill the Great Commission,
and to help churches live into the vision that God has given them. The Mission Foundation
may be able to help if your church or agency is in need of resource assistance for
a new or continuing ministry.
